"Ptashka", who managed to be freed from Russian captivity, emphasized the need to continue fighting for every Ukrainian soldier who was captured by the Russian Federation.

The paramedic emphasized that

this is the duty of every conscientious citizen.

"Ptashka" said this on her Instagram, where she published a short video message to her followers.

The 21-year-old "Ptashka" said that after a short recovery, she intends to continue the fight for Ukraine, for Ukrainian lands and the Ukrainian military, who are in captivity in Russia.

The defender of "Azovstal" emphasized that this is a priority and she considers it her task and duty.

Now she says that a part of her heart remained with the Ukrainian prisoners in Russian captivity.

"I returned, but I did not return completely, because a part of my heart remained there, in Russian captivity - Ukrainian soldiers are still in this hell. Therefore, our

main task is to continue fighting for every Ukrainian soldier.

Now I will recover a little and we will continue the fight , to free the Ukrainian lands from this Mokshan scourge and to free the Ukrainian military. This is the first priority, this is my task and my duty. And I believe that it is the duty of every conscientious citizen to fight, not stop and be strong. Thank you all. Glory to Ukraine !", said volunteer paramedic of the National Guard "Ptashka" to the crowd and added the inscription "Let's be happy and don't relax!".

It will be recalled that Ukraine and Russia conducted a large-scale exchange of prisoners. 

215 people were released from Russian captivity

, including 108 Azov soldiers and 10 foreign volunteers.

In response, Ukraine released 55 occupiers and the godfather of Vladimir Putin 

, Viktor Medvedchuk

It should be noted that the head of the "Azov" patronage service, Olena Tolkachova, said that the soldiers released from captivity are in a shocking state - almost all 215 people 

have an extreme degree of anorexia.

As reported, one of the released Ukrainian soldiers 

confessed to his girlfriend just in the hospital ward on the third day after the exchange.

 In the widely circulated video footage, you can see how the girl is sitting on a hospital bed in the ward, and her lover-defender proposes to her with the words: "... war, Zolochiv. I don't know what was more difficult. Will you marry me?".

In addition, on September 25, a girl was born

to Maryana Mamonova, a Ukrainian medic released from captivity, who heroically defended Mariupol .
